Sisäpiiriläisiin

Sisäpiiriläisiin refers to individuals who possess non-public information about a company or other organization. This information, if disclosed, could significantly impact the price of the organization's securities. The term is primarily used in financial and legal contexts, particularly concerning insider trading regulations.

Individuals who can be considered sisäpiiriläisiin typically include directors, senior executives, employees, and substantial shareholders of a company. Beyond these direct connections, the category can also extend to individuals who receive such information indirectly, such as family members, close associates, or professional advisors like lawyers or accountants, provided they know or ought to have known that the information was non-public and price-sensitive.

Trading on or tipping off others about this non-public information is generally illegal and subject to strict penalties in many jurisdictions. Regulatory bodies monitor trading activities to detect and prosecute insider trading. The purpose of these regulations is to ensure fair and transparent markets where all investors have access to the same information. Companies are also obligated to have internal policies to manage and prevent the misuse of inside information by their personnel.
